So, Forbes & Perot, spent plenty. Somewhere between that amount & $40 million. Dayton spent millions for a Senate seat in MN, paying about $100,000 at the time.

George Soros spent $20 to $30 million to try to make sure Bush wasn't elected in 2004. At least the money is out of their own accounts & in circulation again. Power & Prestige is the reason.

Power & Prestige that can't be obtained in any other means. It will make them more money than they ever spend on elections. Look at Clinton, $35,000 as AR governor, I don't know what llary brought in at the time.

But they had next to nothing entering the White House & they have made over $20 million since he left office.

Ah, but..... ...it's not about the money! The paycheck that comes with being president is not the issue here, not at all. It's the power, the prestige, the legacy.

How many people can say "I was the president of the United States", a position often referred to as the most powerful man in the world? Perhaps the largest popularity contest in the world, with millions of votes to elect you. Forever you will be known to almost everyone on earth; you make history by taking an oath of office.

Of course, there's more than just the power to most of them, I am sure. I'm sure they all have great plans of changing the world and being the best president along the likes of Washington or Lincoln or JFK. I'm sure they all want to be a president that people admire and trust.

You could think of it as that money he's spending is going into the economy--better than just sitting in some bank or something! It's out there creating income for some, creating a few jobs here and there, too, I'll bet!

Ego trip It could be that he is having a hard time admitting defeat. My understanding is that he is worth $250,000,000. $35 million is s substantial percentage of that.It kind of makes me question his judgment.

Good question some people are driven to some goal, no matter how difficult or unlikely. With Mittens he has more money than he can ever spend, so spending it is not a hardship.

Why is Mitt Romney spending all this money....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
